Beta Beach, Camps Bay – Flickr pic of the day

Frame says, “Cape Town is a photographer’s dream. It has a range of landscapes and subjects rarely found in other parts of the world.

“The light in Cape Town is something special too and when I’m photographing on vacation, I always make a point of being out around sunset.

“This is a charming private little beach called Beta Beach just off the beaten track in an area called Bakoven, Camps Bay. I met a Hawaiian-Iranian photographer fellow while taking this and he shared my laments about not being able to capture such striking views in evening light.

“How I wish I could come back for some long exposures!”

Under the looming Twelve Apostles and Lion’s Head as a backdrop and with views out across the turquoise-coloured sea, Camps Bay is one of Cape Town’s beautiful tourist destinations.
